The splashproof, dustproof Olympus E-5 ($1,699.99 list, body only) is a fun, fast, and tough camera.
Screen
The 3-inch LCD is packed with 920,000 dots, so it’s as large and as sharp as most of the cameras in its price range. The display is mounted on an articulating arm, which can be pulled out and spun around up to 270 degrees.
Back
The Olympus E-5 has a rugged build; the camera's body is sealed to resist sand, dust, rain and splashes. When it's combined with a weatherproof lens (Olympus makes several), the E-5 is one tough camera. (The magnesium-alloy camera body withstood bumps, bangs, and liberal splashing in my tests.)

Video recorded with the E-5 looks great, and shooting is a lot of fun because you can apply the in-camera filters to your videos. You can even shoot in manual mode and control the level of blur (shutter speed) or depth of field (aperture). One shortcoming: You can’t control the size of the video or the frame rate—the only option is 720p at 30 frames per second.
Right
The E-5 is very speedy, but there are even faster models in this price range. The camera can power on and shoot in an average of 1.6 seconds, and once it's powered up, it can capture up to five images per second and there's virtually no shutter lag.
Side Ports
The video recording experience has the same limitations as with most traditional D-SLRs—the camera can't continuously autofocus (so tracking faces isn’t possible), and if you use the built-in microphone, you’ll capture noise from the lens every time you refocus (unless you focus manually).

Like most D-SLRs, the E-5 isn't exactly compact—it weighs a seriously hefty 1.97 pounds and measures a considerable 4.6 by 5.6 by 2.9 inches (HWD). It’s built for speedy shooting, though, you'll find dedicated buttons to toggle shooting modes, white balance, autofocus, Live View, video capture, ISO sensitivity and more, providing quick access to features that might otherwise require you to dig through menus.
Card Slots
The E-5 offers memory slots for CF and SDXC cards.
The E-5's underwhelming low-light score is likely due to the fact that the E-5’s image sensor is not as large as D-SLR competitors from Nikon, Olympus, Sony and Pentax.
The user interface on the E-5 isn’t anything special, but it’s simple and offers some basic features for enhancing your photos.
There are 10 integrated filters including Pinhole, Film Grain, Gentle Sepia, and others. The E-5 also has an HDR (high-dynamic range) setting, which takes overexposed and under-exposed images of the same subject and merges them into one photo, typically improving the lighting and exposure of the shot.
Angle
Overall, The Olympus E-5 is a good choice if you need manual shooting in environments that are moist, wet, sandy, or just generally hostile for electronics.Price Range $1,699.99
